The moral altitude of man is directly related to his aptitude for self preservation

on the brink of a type 1 society the question becomes how effective is self preservation against ourselves

and what happens when the foundations we’ve built crumble and new heights are just out of reach.

 

Step one in the matrix

don’t think that you can ever make shit

cus shit makes you and shit breaks you

but shit you can never break shit

 

Step two repeat step one and this time like you mean it

there aint no sweatin no half stepping

no analyzing your dreams shit

 

Step three

never turn on the tv

big brother is watching with glee

and his eyes on the prize and the prize is your lies

and your lies are the things you believe til you die

 

Step four is get ready for

the forgetting and the forfeiting of everything you stand for

these are the demands and the courses

 

Four horses in the form of the forces

moving through space dragging innocent corpses

torque-less look at the abyss to abort this

 

 

But it really dont matter tho

cus everybody sleep

 

everyone asleep

everyone asleep

 

Virus in the code

while it’s niggas in the street

 

niggas in the street

loops in the system

cant nobody miss em

 

can’t nobody miss em

can’t nobody miss em

 

but it really dont matter tho

cus everyone sleep

 

everyone asleep

everyone asleep

 

Sleep tight my baby

there’s no need for you to cry

your life is laid out you live it until you die

if he tell you different you tell him to walk on by

foolish pride

 

Pixelated pistols

computer guided missiles

a rose with forty thistles

arose with forty issues

mama grab tissues

baby grab the ipad

shawty say i miss you

nigga say oh my bad

another bitch off screen

sniffin blow sippin lean

what the fuck do it mean?

the matrix is make believe

 

Welcome to the world of make believe and you can take your shoes off at the couch

slip into some slippers grab a cup of tea inhale the steam into your mouth

open up your senses only to the moment that is what it’s all about

relax away your inhibition until you realize never was there any doubt

 

I’m your mama

I’m your daddy

I’m that nigga

In the alley

I’m your dr

When you need

have some coke

have some weed

You know me

I’m your friend

Your main boy

Thick and thin

I’m your pushaman

I’m your pushaman

 

One time for the pushaman

One time for the pushaman

Two times for the pushaman

Two times for the pushaman
